As a parent of special needs kids the recklessness of these really pisses me off.
hausen reminds me of that kid who followed huggs to KSU from WVU because he was dating his daughter. except he's actually kinda good and not just a mascot.
Met a kid named Ethyn today
How are we feeling this morning Mr. President of the Iowa Chapter of EMAW supporters?If Tang wins tomorrow, consider my faith in him restored.
lol, is that all it takes? A road win against the #3 team in the country?
So... moving past the colossal crap show today (has a top 15 ever been down by nearly 40 points in a game ever - thanks to Iowa State earlier this year, we can be sure we aren't the only ones!).
We have two sleepwalk games in the next week (@Cincy, vs. UCF) and then what is probably going to be a tough turnaround from playing at home vs. UCF next Saturday to playing @WVU at 1 p.m. on President's Day. That's going to be a tough one.
Right now, it's a 3-way tie at 10-2 for first (us, TCU, Baylor). After WVU, we have KU, Baylor & @ISU. Baylor has a tough schedule as well (WVU, ISU, KSU, TCU) with TCU in the best position with only two decent opponents left (WVU & Baylor). That CU loss might end up costing us the title unless we can beat WVU.
Don't want to kick someone when they're down, but Walker has got to play better. She's down to 34% from the field, 16%(!) from 3 and 50% from the line in Big 12 play. When you're the No. 3 shot taker on the team, you've got to shoot better.
Wouldn't you know it, Elon thinks possibly the most successful government program in US history is full of FRAUD!

Quite possibly the greatest sports clip of all time
It's Big Mad Friday - With #blueanongE
#blueanon/#blueanongE embracing hardcore Islamic fundamentalism while constantly big mad at Christians (of which the ranks are filled with very liberal and open minded people) . . . is just a gift for the ages, and also very very on brand.
Y'all should watch again, they weren't just beasting Serena in the post, except for when HVL switched onto her, but Mittie ran several unique different sets to isolate her and try to mitigate help coming. You can see this the best on the last three that Poindexter hit, that was designed to give TCU a choice, they decided to double and Poindexter hit what was the game winning dagger. TCU had every reason to be worried about Serena passing out of doubles, if you go back and look at previous games, she's looking to do that more often than not, but the last two or three games she's been so unstoppable in the post, primarily because we have three dead eye shooters on the perimeter, and teams don't want to leave them. Even Gis, whose minutes last night drove me bat crap, has been 7-18 the last 7 games, that's 39%.
Another Serena post iso that I loved was one in the fourth quarter, the double did come from Prince and Serena went to Prince to get the shot off. She missed it but I think it goes to what her mentality was last night.
The best part about this new found pressing style and isolating Serena is that these two things can continue after Ayoka returns. The post iso will be a little more complicated, but they can just pull Ayoka to the opposite high post. They actually compliment each other very well in a double post because Serena prefers to work on the left side and Ayoka prefers the left.
In the third quarter, K-State ran sets on 13 possessions (not counting transition possessions, etc.). Of those, KSU ran iso on 6 possessions. Of those, 5 were Sundell (the other was Sanchez). TCU made zero attempt to double on all 6 possessions regardless of who was guarding Sundell. KSU scored on 5 of those possessions (4 for Sundell).
In the fourth quarter, not counting the final minute when the game was over, KSU ran sets on 12 possessions. Of those, KSU ran iso 8 times (8 of the last 9 possessions). Of those, 7 were Sundell (1 was Poindexter). Of those isos that were in the paint, TCU made zero attempts to double team. One was outside of the paint and Sundell passed it out to Poindexter for a made 3 after the double came. The other was a flukey play were Sanchez nearly turned the ball over, Sundell picked it up in the lane, started to iso and because Prince hadn’t followed Sanchez out to the corner, she did run toward Sundell before Sundell kicked it out to Sanchez for a made corner 3-pointer (doesn’t count as an intentional double team in my book).
So, to recap, in the second half:
25 KSU possessions with sets
14 isos (all within the last 20 possessions when sets were run)
0 double teams on isos in the paint (unless you count the flukey unintentional double team)
1 double team on iso outside of the paint
12 made baskets (9 by Sundell)
In all of these cases, it didn't matter who was guarding Sundell - the tactic was the same. In nearly every case, Sundell either posted up in the paint or posted just outside the paint (to your point - mostly on the left side/lower block) and then backed down her defender (leaving ample time to double). Yes, Mittie ran some different actions to get her into those iso spots, but I don't think we're talking Tex Winter stuff there.
If you want to give credit to TCU for being in a tough spot, that's certainly fine. Given that KSU entered the game after being on fire against KU, defending the 3 makes sense.
I think the point being made was that KSU essentially kept doing the same thing over and over and TCU didn't change their approach, switch things up, etc. after they were getting destroyed and that the decision by TCU was probably a bad choice.
I do agree on the prospects for the offense was Lee's back - we'll be awfully tough to defend with this dedication to running these sets.
strongly agree! a trip to the FF justifies all in my book and every big time HC is an overly competitive bad person at a minimumI wonder what Snyders Politics were? I mean I'm pretty sure I can guess but I don't think he ever made any statements or support for one side or another. The only PSA's I can remember him doing is the "Dont take random prescription drugs".
I would imagine I am at odds with most of the prominent coaches KSU has had since I was a Frosh in 97. Just entertain me. I don’t need them to inform any other part of life.
Shut up and scheme
I'm not trying to lawyer you. I was trying to understand what you were talking about -- I couldn't tell if your entire post was about trans sports or not. Thank you for clarifying. I hadn't seen that pause on research papers regarding trans/LGBT stuff.If you are a living breathing human being in America, there should be absolutely zero limitations placed on you compared to any other American. It is wild to me that the right cares so much about legislating things like this.The bolded sentence is a good sentiment, but it's a little crazy, right? We let some "living breathing humans in America" do things all the time that we don't let others in that group do. I can gamble on sports, my 10 year old nephew (although living and breathing) isn't allowed to do that. My sister can write prescriptions, I don't have that freedom. We give veterans better loan terms that aren't available to non-veterans. We limit regular citizens' access to top-secret documents. I don't have an issue with any of that stuff. I think you're talking about the trans sports stuff when you say "limitations that some have that others don't," but is there something else you're referring to?
Its crazy to me how the country can breed such a feeling of patriotism in it's people, but we choose to out group those in that group. We should be taught how to avoid bullshit scarcity thinking based around that. Instead, we are killing off science and discussion.
I also don't know what you mean when you say "we are killing off science and discussion"? Like, in what way?
What I said was pretty broad, but I have to tell you that your response comes across as intentionally obtuse. Normally, when I encounter folks being intentionally obtuse, I assume they are being disingenuous and discussing in bad faith.
That said, you have mentioned many times recently that you are a single-issue voter, so I am assuming you just haven't heard about the elimination, and intention of elimination, of equality programs for minority groups who have historically encountered quite a bit of discrimination in our country. I have loved ones who will be living in a world that has more ability to discriminate against them due to these moves.

As for your quesiton about science: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-cdc-orders-pullback-new-scientific-papers-involving-its-researchers-source-2025-02-02/ https://apnews.com/article/trump-health-communications-cdc-hhs-fda-1eeca64c1ccc324b31b779a86d3999a4
A portion of my statement is fueled by the fear of what I think is coming based on those involved: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-darren-beattie-state-department/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/stephen-miller-named-deputy-chief-of-policy-in-new-trump-administration https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hate-watch/stephen-millers-affinity-white-nationalism-revealed-leaked-emails/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2024/10/01/jd-vances-ties-to-project-2025-explained-ahead-of-tonights-vp-debate/
This is batshit crazy. The AD has to get fired for this, right?He missed (1) practice to be on the radio? Meh! The things being discussed in the pit are batshit crazy.
